Critical reception

The Chicago Reader called the album "disappointingly flat and half-baked."[6] Salon wrote that "[Tim] Midgett sings ragged and artless in the accepted indie style, but an endearing half-resigned, half-yearning melancholy is all he needs to put the wry words across."[7] CMJ New Music Monthly called Blueblood "a stimulating mix of riff-fueled rants and more meandering tunes."[8]
